In a red-hot saga from New York Times bestselling author Kay Hooper, a Delaney rebel finds his saving grace in the arms of a woman who's also wild at heart.   Tiny, blond Maggie O'Riley may look like a delicate doll, but her skill as a horse trainer able to tame even the most violent animal has made her a legend. As for her new boss, Rafe Delaney, everyone knows that no mortal woman will ever gentle that man. He's too sexy, stubborn, and decidedly single for anything more than a fling, and that's not Maggie's style. But life at Shamrock Ranch has a funny way of bringing out the Irish in everybody--and before Maggie can list all the reasons her attraction to Rafe is just plain wrong, she's losing more than her willpower in the heat of his touch.   Rafe is used to calling the shots on his family's legendary Arizona ranch, but beautiful, talented Maggie sends his head spinning, his heart racing, and his body aching in overdrive. She's not the kind of distraction he needs as ruthless saboteurs stage a deadly showdown to break the Delaneys--but since when did Rafe ever back down from a challenge? Especially considering the only thing that's ever tamed a Delaney man is a spirited and determined woman who's brave enough to try.… (plus d'informations)

"You're a lot like this land, Maggie," he said softly. "You give no quarter."

We begin our story with Maggie as she is hired on Rafe's family horse farm after impressing him with her horse training skills. Horses and their upkeep and breeding take up a lot of time in this book. Although I am not an expert, I had relatives that raised horses for competition (barrel and dresage), I am familiar with some horse culture. For the short length, the book was able to remain true to life of horses and the people who love and raise them. Anyway, I enjoyed this book just fine. I may even watch out for the rest of the series (featuring different authors). This is my second Kay Hooper and I think her writing works well for me.

As I mentioned in an update, my spouse found this in a Little Free Library for me. I often read and return the books I find, but I plan to keep this book for the lovely cover (illustrated by Joe DeVito).

content note: there's some offensive Native American representation and stereotypes. ( )

Originally published as a series romance in 1986 and now available as an ebook. It's well-written, and the characters are deftly drawn, but sexual mores have changed enough in the last thirty years that Rafe comes across as a jerk, not as a romantic hero. ( )
